Octavia vrs 17 onwards 245

[surveyor_101]

Looking at getting a new daily and wanted a good a grounder.

Dsg rather than manual estate or hatch. It's replacing an estate Mazda but I ran a 68 plate octavia a year ago as company car and it was a good jack of trades.

Looking Octavia vrs 245 as I like the later split headlight and they just seem a strong alrounder.

I did want rear of 4wd but to get a decent late model audio or bmw I am not going to be sub 20k.

I am sort of considering the a 185 tri if I get the 4wd maybe.

Anyone got any known issues.

18 Hatchback version with under 18k for 17k

Both are rare finds but well worth seeking out, they're easily on par with a VRS Superb let alone the Octavia.

The Octavia is a decent car, the Mondeo is a better steer but the VRS is faster through the gears (because Ford limits torque in the first 3 gears) but for me the Mondeo (especially in Vignale spec) has the better interior.

Found a 19 Plate low milleage VRS245 Estate 11k this weekend with balance of skoda warranty and RAC 3 year add on warranty.


Really chuffed its a sleeper and a good alrounder.

Best colour for it, I had a 2015 in silver a few years ago.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Glad you got sorted OP.

Great choice and it looks fantastic! Silver cars are underrated I think. We've had our VRS 220 for 5 years soon and like you say it's a great all-rounder. Been very reliable in that time.
